Ana Al Awwal Golden

I own this fragrance and in my opinion it is a straight 10/10 for what you pay, fruity, sweet and smooth dupe of Erba Pura. Definitely worth buying and if you collect fragrances you should give it a try, and in case you are wondering it is about $20.

Beautiful dupe of Erba Pure. It's even smoother to my nose and maybe a little more feminine leaning. I am pleasently suprised by how good it is. The projection and the sillage are great.

This is nowhere similar to Mugler Angel Fantasm but has similar approach with very sharp fruity opening notes and warm, vanilla, ambery or woody dry down. I'm picky with fruity scents as I'm not a fruity person. I prefer fruity notes that are not overly sweet or gourmand. I would describe the fruitiness of this fragrance as fresh, a bit spicy at the opening. As it dries down, when the vanilla and sandalwood come through, the fruitiness becomes more mellow, creamy. This is such a unique fragrance, which is suitable for daytime.

Maybe my nose is broke, but with this fragance I just keep smelling pear, white florals, fresh laundry and something sharp citrus-y. It's a feminine fresh uplifting clean safe not offensive generic smell imo. Great for when you need to do errands, shopping, have to spend the day in the office, hang out with family, lunch with friends. It's not bad, but also not the best I've ever came across. It lasts about 5 hours on my skin and this is a fragance for pretty much all ages. 7 out of 10.

2nd UPDATE: I'm passing this along to friends. I really wanted to like this as a fruity, playful summer scent--but I can't. On me, where I live, it turns too cloying. It's too syrupy for my liking afterall. Which makes me sad, but I'm happy someone else is going to love and wear her. ____________________________________________________________________________ **UPDATE: It's been sitting for about 2.5 month and wow. This is a tropical, fruity, easy to wear fragrance that dries down to the most sexy musky skin scent. I kept getting whiffs of myself and thing "dang, this is really beautiful". I have a similar DNA fragrance to this one (Milestone Exelof Pure Gold) and this fragrance is far more easy to wear. HUGE win if you can get it under $15! ___________________________________________________ I just got this today in the mail. This is beautiful. It might get a little cloying in the heat and humidity of the summertime, but its so easy to wear. If you want to be the sweetest fruit-sweet smelling person in the room--this is your gal. I want to say I smell a very sweet mango, but that's not right. It's more of general tropical fruit vibe. ZERO coconut, but other tropical fruits. Out of the box, I like it. Since I just got this, I'm going to let it sit in the drawer and see what it looks like in a few months. I'll be back.

This has something sharp in the opening that I can't stand. Dry down is pleasing but the opening slightly ruins it for me. Will let my bottle sit for a bit to decide whether I want to keep this or not. For now I'm underwhelmed.

I have Ana Al Awwal Golden and I like how fresh and soft it smells. A clean citrus-floral scent that feels simple and pretty.
